-- this is particularly true for people whose life's -- constituents or conservatives and neighbors who are trump devotee, so this extremism, this acceptance of coercion, political violence to the threat thereof of terror, of just insane harassment as a tactic. it is really powerful. i think it is fair to say, i really believe this, and that it is completely subverted the ability of the republican party themselves to genuinely run a free and fair election within their own party to choose their own nominee. because not only is there this ever-present threat, you know, everyone in the upper echelons of the party also understands that donald trump will never accept defeat. you are having a contest with a guy who is he going to accept a feat? they understand it because of january, six but they understand it before. that they understand it be because of 2016. when trump lost the iowa caucuses and reportedly pressured state republicans to
they should, but given where they are, we don't know what the tally was from the grand jury. that's an important thing to keep in mind. we don't know if there are people who still, in seeing all this evidence and having it presented, still voted no. when we come into, trial you need in an unanimous verdict. >> let's talk about that, joyce, because when andrew mccarthy says trump is toast, it brings as to the question of, what is toast? there is a judge in this case, alien cannon, who was a trump appointee. >> a trump appointee, a trump devotee. >> acolyte. >> tell me about this, joyce. what influence to the judge have, despite this remarkable indictment and all the evidence that the justice department seems to have? >> every judge has to be appointed by a president from one party or another, and typically we said that aside. but judge cannon, who was appointed to the bench, was confirmed to the bench after donald trump actually lost the
training for our police to handle situations so it doesn't get to that level of horror. >> many of them also hope that the federal government is able to put pressure down on states or local governments to take additional action. people here say that the new standard needs to be what we've seen happen here in memphis, which is the investigation. >> thank you very much. and when president biden puts down the microphone tonight, the republican party has anointed a trump devotee to pick it back up for the rebuttal. sarah huckabee sanders will deliver tonight's republican response. someone who spoke for former president trump will now speak for the entire party. a party that has also shown signs of waivering on donald trump. nbc has learned she's expected
and deception, and being honest and authentic becomes an act of courage. speak the truth, no matter the consequences, and quote. arizona's family high ground statewide survey shows -- with a 5.2 point lead over his opponent. and the race for senate, the republican blake masters's against democratic senator mark kelly. mathis is a trump devotee, who was also leaned into the big lie and has watered down version of the racist -- replacement theory. he alleges that democrats are trying to encourage immigration so that their party can dilute the political power of native foreign voters. he says illegal immigrants are treated better then u.s. military veteran's, our buddy tells us the military is totally incompetent. all of that has landed masters on trump's good, side or new endorsement and a spot on trump's top -- email donor list. by the way, trump keeps 99% of the donations that come in, but masters is very much playing on
violence on the senate side of the capitol. he noted that the insurrection is, quote, love this country and, quote, would never do anything to break the law, and quote. he said that if it wore tens of thousands of black lives matter and antifa protesters, he would've been concerned. these also spread vaccine falsehoods, promoting unapproved remedies for covid-19. he's voted against the january six committee, a gun safety bill, and the confirmation of our first black female supreme court justice. his race against democratic challenger is rated a toss-up by the political report. now, let's look at the race for governor in wisconsin. the businessman, to michael, since the republican nominee. his gauge of his co-owner managing the largest energy infrastructure company in the state. michaels as a trump devotee and big lie endorser. he's previously said he would
republicans or democrats would give that party control of the senate. hence, every candidate counts. so, i want to take a look at some of the candidates who might be weighing on mcconnell's mind. they're running four seats in the highly competitive states of arizona, georgia, pennsylvania, wisconsin and ohio. all right, let's start in wisconsin, we send it -- incumbent republican senator ron johnson is vying for a third term. johnson has garnered a fair share of criticism for his stance on abortion, he's perpetuation of dubious covid treatments, and his crusade to cut social security and medicare. senator johnson is a trump devotee. he has been one of the senate's most vocal election deniers and insurrection apologists. the house committee investigating january 6th revealed that johnson's chief of staff tried to deliver a slate of fake electors backing donald trump to then vice president mike pence. johnson has changed his story about it several times, telling
republican, on a democrat, so in order -- to him the committee -- whose terms had expired anyways, and chose to appoint one republican and one democrat. they did this by allowing the republicans on the commission to nominate to people, and the democrats to nominate to. the two republicans that were sent out to vote which a christian adams themself, and cleta mitchell, and the commission this is true, found items to be so disagreeable, that they appointed cleta mitchell and it is a knowingly. >> so this guys on the commission, he's a trump devotee, he is viewed if i got a charitably as obnoxious by his fellow commissioners. he is one of these sort of, oh there is all sorts of dead democrats voting kind of folks. so he has name including mitchell are in there and they will take leader mitchell as we. trying to overturn an american election rather than this dude
to be so disagreeable that they appointed cleta mitchell and they did so willingly. >> this guy is on the commission, he's a trump devotee. he's viewed, if i can say charitably as noxious by his fellow commissioners. he's one of these sort of like oh, there's all sorts of dead democrats voting kind of folks. and so he -- his name and cleta mitchell are in there and they're like we'll take cleta mitchell, the one on the call trying to overturn an american election rather than this dude, who is just unbearable, basically? >> absolutely. to hear the commissioners who didn't want to go on the record about this because jay christian adams is so unpleasant to deal with, he's just so difficult to work with and prevents any activity from going forward that they felt he would probably pull the same stuff on the board of advisers so they chose to nominate cleta mitchell, who ultimately they determined would be annoying but probably wouldn't grind things to a halt. >> well, everybody knows the
a trump devotee whose ex said he threatened to shoot her in the head. and then there's vernon jones. he used to be a democrat, only to announce that he was joining the republican party at the rally before the insurrection, moments before all the noose hanging, poop smearing and deadly anti-democratic violence popped off at our capitol. but the strange saga doesn't end there, no. no. back in 2010 when jones was the first black ceo of dekalb county, a jury ordered buckets of cash to white plaintiffs who said they were victims of reverse racism. yesterday jones joined stu peters, a right-wing podcaster for a little chitchat that was supposed to be about his campaign. let's just say things went a little off the rails. >> you're accusing them of lying -- >> fake news. if you want to talk about -- >> you're accusing them of lying and you're accusing me of being
manhattan is leaving at the end of this year means that you'll probably see a charge by the end of this year and more likely the end of this summer or fall. cyrus vance jr. doesn't want to leave this issue to a successor. so i expect indictments to to happen sooner than later. >> and just to be clear, against who? >>. well, the d.a. has been investigating donald trump himself. the attorney general has been investigating the trump family and the trump organization. now they have a division of labor. they're working together. uktd see donald trump being indicted this year and perhaps as soon as the summertime. one consideration is that donald trump right now is in bedminster, new jersey, which has a democratic governor. but he will be returning to mar-a-lago in the winter. that's right here in palm beach county, where the governor is ron desantis, who is a trump devotee. and he made try to delay the extradition.
